3 things

Just 3 things today that were noteworthy. Thing 1 is funny, so read that one first. Thing 3 can be read before Thing 2, so read them in whatever order you wish, but read on, brave soul....

A little background goes a long way, so here is part of it. I went to the dentist yesterday; there is another long story to insert here, but I'm only delivering on the 3 Things I promised, so I'll save that story for another day. As usual since Chemo, my gums are in bad shape and are receding faster than the speed of sound, actually, make it about a mach-2. The other background item is that I am a {dramatic pause here} night-time snacker. I ate a cherry popsicle (sugar-free) and not long after, I went in to brush my teeth. If you are following me here, I think my mouth is bleeding all over and I am freaking out. Ah, it was just a red popsicle he says as he looks at his red tongue. *sigh*

My Dad had surgery today as a follow up to his surgery and things went well. I spoke to him on the phone and he sounded good. Actually, for what he has been through, he sounded great. He does have to have radiation for 6 weeks, but I think he'll do fine with that. I am told that the cancer he had was unusual in that it was attacking the nerves in his face, so that is why he has to face the radiation.

Franklin is doing about the same today. Luckily he is keeping down a little more than he is vomiting. We are still very worried about him though. He is not getting better, just in a holding pattern.
